Fuel healthy futures with Save-On-Foods

May 6, 2025

Our 11th annual fundraising campaign with Save-On-Foods is officially underway! All month long, when you donate in-store or online, Save-On-Foods will match the first $10,000 raised, doubling your impact.

100% of every donation goes directly to grocery gift cards, giving food-insecure families the dignity, choice, and immediate relief they deserve—no overhead, no redirection—just direct support where it’s needed most.

This year, we’re excited to welcome Save-On-Foods stores in Airdrie and Okotoks, helping us reach even more children and families beyond Calgary.

Healthy futures start with you. Your donation today provides the support, stability, and choice every family deserves.

Want to know how it all began? Watch a special interview with our co-founders, Bobbi and Sutton, as they share how our partnership with Save-On-Foods started and grew into a powerful way to help thousands of kids thrive.
